You're right it's good for the economy. I just think its wasteful for that beautiful camera to end up in the hands of someone who doesn't really know what they have at their disposal other than that it is a LEICA. Again I have no problem with beginners owning a camera such as this as long as there is an appreciation for what a Leica can produce. What I liken it to is the couple down the street with the three year old Range Rover that has never seen anything other that smooth blacktop. In my opinion it is a waste and is silly. OR the millionaire who buys a 15mm elmarit-R because it looks cool. I say these things not from my head but from my heart. I know I'm being silly but that's just what I think. James
